mothers and daughters....my bones right here hurt

Ever since my daughter has returned from the hospital she has said her hand hurts and wanted an ice pack for it. I did take her to follow up visit 2 days after. She was asked if she is having joint pain, she could only point out the places where the IV's were. Yesterday she assertively said her wrist bones hurt. I again mentioned to her its because of the chemo and all the medications she has to take. She seamed ok with the information and was by my side to learn how to make dinner.

I saw it in her eyes she meant business so I went to my purse and found her specialists business card. I called up the hand written number. Hello, a tone like what, why you bothering me. "I am looking for Dr____ have I dialed the correct number?" The tone changed quickly Yes this is she how may I help you. "This is Mrs____ and I calling in behalf of my daughter____. Her tone turned to excitement, I am so happy you called I was going to call you I have your daughters lab results and I wanted to talk to you before I went on vacation.

That's right apparently the HMO specialist doctor gave me her direct line to her office. WOW!
Although she didn't give much confidence when I asked about what I can give my daughter to ease her joint discomfort.

When I said my daughter is saying, it's her bones and where that are bothering her, is it the chemo the doctor said oh no its the side effects of the disease. I know better, I know she lied. I know all too well the disease does not have the side effect and I know the chemo does. Anyway she told me not to give her any over the counter medication with motrin in it. To increase the some of her medications, and go ahead and buy Mylanta between meals with the acid reflux. Just keep up the icing when she has joint pains.
Why lie? I don't get it.

Daily medications count is now 21. YIKES!
This one is for Joz...one more use for medical gloves..ice pack.
